Tory Miller Pops Up at Honey Butter Fried Chicken and Sunday Dinner Club

One of the most esteemed chefs in the Midwest, Tory Miller of Sujeo, Estrellon, Graze and L’Etoile in Madison, is Chicago-bound for a couple days, wherein he’ll perform some pop-up events at Honey Butter Fried Chicken and Sunday Dinner Club. First, Miller will showcase pan-Asian flavors from Sujeo with special plates of Korean fried chicken available at Honey Butter on July 24. Available all day long, the fried chicken comes with cucumber kimchi and gochujang honey butter. The next night, Miller joins with Sunday Dinner’s Christine Cikowski and Joshua Kulp for a special five-course Spanish-themed menu inspired by Estrellon. Menu items include slow-roasted pork with hickory nut salmuera, fideos with roasted mushrooms, corn, chorizo and basil aioli, and Marcona almond doughnut holes with orange curd pastry cream and Wisconsin blueberries made by Miller’s wife Kristine Miller of Dough Baby Bakery in Madison.

The Sunday Dinner Club menu costs $65 per person and guests can BYOB or get drinks at the Honey Butter bar downstairs. Dinner starts at 7:00 p.m. and tickets can be purchased on Sunday Dinner’s Tock page here.
